CATALCXJUK OF NOCTUID.E SMITH. 87 



Mr. Grote, Avliicli is not llic sniiic species. The iiist'cl Is iVom Tucson, 

 Ariz., and is from Mr. NcniiKCiicn's collection. In that collection 

 are otber specimens also labeled texana and from them I drew the 

 (character for the sjjecies, in my revision. 1 had not been able at that 

 time to find the type in the Pliiladi'lphia collection; but a recent 

 systematic search discovered the specimens under a misleading label. 

 Indeed, but for the fact that one of the specimens was obviously the 

 original of the lignrc above cited, they could not have been identified 

 with certainty at all. As it is, the t;^q)e proves a Ponmuirotis instead 

 of a Garneades, and the insect I described in my ri^vision lacks a name. 

 The S anteinuc are pectinated, secondaries white in the male, only a 

 little soiled in the female. The claviform is obvious. It is between 

 rileyi and orthogonia, difltering obviously from either. The types have 

 no locality labels, and 1 have no information as to who collected them. 

 It is possible that it may prove more nearly related to my ohcsiUa than 

 I now believe, when abundant material is at hand.
